What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPhotographic food atlases are visual aids used to improve portion size estimation in dietary assessment and offer potential use in nutrition education and counseling. This study aimed to develop and validate a photographic atlas for portion size estimation and educational use in Türkiye. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe atlas was developed using standardized procedures for food selection, portion size determination, and image acquisition, and comprised 724 food items represented by 1939 photographs and 2928 portion sizes. Validation was conducted in two phases. In the perception-based phase, atlas-selected and self-estimated portion sizes were compared with presented reference portions, and participants were asked to estimate the weight of the presented portions. In the post-training phase, portion placement accuracy was assessed following atlas-based training. Each phase included 30 participants evaluating 15 food items, resulting in 450 observations per phase and 900 observations in total. Agreement was assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) and Bland-Altman analysis, and differences were evaluated using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
resultsAtlas-based portion size estimations showed good agreement with presented portion weights (ICC = 0.82, p < 0.001), whereas self-estimated portions demonstrated poor agreement (ICC = 0.49, p < 0.001). Bland-Altman analyses showed a mean difference of -5.5 ± 30.67 g, with limits of agreement wider for larger portions than for smaller portions. Absolute errors were lower for atlas-based estimations compared with self-estimation (p < 0.001). In the training phase, the mean relative portion placement error was 24.0 ± 19.3%, with food-specific values ranging from 15.4 ± 13.8% to 41.4 ± 29.2%.
conclusionThe developed photographic atlas demonstrated acceptable validity for dietary assessment and potential applicability in nutrition education.
